Brought to my attention by a sharp-eyed AIPNews correspondent:
American is first woman to win Nobel in economics

WASHINGTON – Elinor Ostrom became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in economics, honored along with fellow American Oliver Williamson on Monday for analyzing economic governance — the rules by which people exercise authority in companies and economic systems.
Ostrom was also the fifth woman to win a Nobel award this year — a record for the prestigious honors.
It was also an exceptionally strong year for the United States, with 11 American citizens — some of them with dual nationality — among the 13 Nobel winners, including President Barack Obama, who won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday.
Ostrom, 76, and Williamson, 77, shared the 10 million kronor ($1.4 million) economics prize for work that "advanced economic governance research from the fringe to the forefront of scientific attention," the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said.
No, not the way it’s written.
Obama’s own web site admitted it, long ago. British and US.
No, not the way it’s written.
That has no bearing when the objective is to pimp a 3rd party website.
Or, perhaps I posted it here because I thought some folks might find it interesting.
Krypton and Earth?
Seems to me it could be read two different ways.
LOL...
Perhaps and I may would believe that if you had used the link to the Yahoo site where the article came from instead of pimping your 3rd party political site. But we all have to make a living someway, that I understand.
That wouldn’t have been possible with the editorial content of the headline. But that’s okay. Go ahead and whine.
But that’s okay. Go ahead and whine.
Thanks, glad you approve.
Who are the others with dual citizenship?
I’m not sure.
No, that’s not what AP wrote. Had they meant to say that Obama was among the Americans with dual nationality they would have written “including President Obama” before the long hypen that followed “some of them with dual nationalities.”
Ah, faked out by a hyphen.
I still think it could be read either way. :-)
Technically, it’s an em dash, not a hyphen. :-)
You’re not that stupid, why make it look so?
Somewhere, a copy editor is getting a royal spanking.
It’s a dangling reference and more likely refers to “American Citizen”.
Why was the dual nationality mentioned at all? What importance does it have in winning the Nobel? any?
"with 11 American citizens — ... — among the 13 Nobel winners, including President Barack Obama, who won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday. "
